To clarify Atheno, if you can't get to an item on a route (for example, you haven't got Surf yet) you don't have to get it the first time through. However, you must go back to get it as soon as possible, and you can't move on until you do. Also, out of curiosity, let me know which spy or secret agent tune you use :)

Sprocket's Pokemon: Every time I enter a new area, I must catch the first pokemon I see. The pokemon caught beforehand using this method must then be released. Failure to capture first pokemon still means releasing the last one. It must also be the lead in any Gym Battle, unless any challenge overrides, and it cannot switch out until either the lead has fainted or the pokemon faints (will have to be overridden for one gym, due to the challenge on Shieldon's evolution).

Chimchar has taunt so you can taunt abras teleporting and capture them easily. After a while you should find a calm syncronizer.

So I want a Platinum challenge. 6 pokemons b4 the League and 4 after to replace 4 of them (I think it's refreshing).
I want CREATIVE CHALLENGES RATHER THAN TOUGH ONES! And make it so that I have 2 pokes b4 Gardenia. That's all.

Zdrup, take a Buneary and call it Easter. As a Ghost-Killer, this Buneary wins as it must always know foresight. It must always have Return and a fighting move, with one non-attacking move of your choice. It must then solo one of Fantina's pokemon using only the normal and fighting moves in order to evolve.

Pokemon culture is rich in achievements and trials, but none are richer than the culture of a certain tribe of Bidoof and Bibarel. Every time a promising trainer comes through their patch in the East of Route 201, it is the duty of every Bidoof to try to be caught, and the best one is traditionally picked by the trainer, given a sacred name by the tribe, and sent on his or her way. This Bidoof, soon to be Bibarel, then travels around Sinnoh, learning techniques from the most powerful trainers around, and is considered to have ascended to the peak of the Bibarel culture when he/she defeats the most powerful Pokemon in the land, at which time Bibarel is bound to its trainer for all eternity, and is celebrated by the tribe back on route 201.

Therefore:
When you first get Pokeballs, you must immediately purchase another 5, and go and catch as many Bidoofs as you can with these 10 balls in route 201. You must keep the one with the highest stat total (if it is a tie, keep the one you caught first, because it obviously saw you faster and had better reflexes) and name it Atheno if it is male or Athena if it is female.

It must solo a Pokemon in every gym, and after doing so must learn a move of the type of the gym you just defeated before the next gym (this is actually possible). It must also solo Cynthia's Garchomp, after which it may not forget Curse, the ??? move, to show its mastery of all fighting styles. To celebrate defeating it, you must march through route 201, with Athen@ at the front of your party, and stay the night there as celebrations take place.

Finally, you must keep Athen@ after the League, and it begins to hate all of the newcomers, which means that in any double battle, it must only use moves which damage in some way the newcomers until either they are all knocked out or the battle is won. You must also solo an elite four member on the second way through, to demonstrate that it is keeping up its training still, in an unending quest for ultimate fighting skill.

Now if you know one thing about Gastlies, it would be that they are ghastly.

So ghastly indeed that they need to fight to stay alive.

Now your Gastly is particularly ghastly.

It hates Team Galactic for not being ghastly enough.

In fact, it soloed the first ten Galactic Grunts and one Admin before it evolved into Haunter.

Now Haunters aren't ghastly, but they love to haunt.

Your Haunter loves to haunt places.

It wanted to haunt every place it could find.

Which is why it killed one Pokemon from every Gym after evolving, plus the first Cyrus battle.

Then it evolved into Gengar after defeating Volkner.

Gengar isn't a pun on any word, so the only restriction I put on it is that the sum of the Base Powers of its moves cannot exceed 200.

Recap:
Ghastly Gastly must solo ten Galactic Grunts plus one Galactic Admin (not necessarily the first).
Haunting Haunter must solo one Pokemon from every Gym, plus the entire first Cyrus battle
Gengar the Gengar must not have the BPs of its moves exceed 200. Hidden Power counts as 50.

Mesprit isn't very legendary. It's UU for goodness sake. And bad luck Vratix. I'm going to want to see your team after this. I suppose you were giving out OU, so (from what I understand of the process you all had) you would have one less than everyone else.

This Onix lives by the sea, so it has to solo one of the water gym leader's Pokemon.
It frolicks in the autumn mist, so you aren't allowed to use Defog on any of the routes.
And it lives in a land called Honah Lee, so it must solo a pokemon whose names begin with H, O, N, A, H, L, E, and E, in order. You can battle Pokemon in between those letters, but again, it must be in order.

Since everyone knows zdrup has a Rotom, I have to say that I HATE THAT ROTOM. My team hates Rotom. And I will get my revenge NOW. Take a Rotom named Loser, it cannot know any moves you had it use during the SPL, and one of its moves must be Thundershock. If you ever find one of the Pokemon I used on my team, you must send in Rotom and LET IT FAINT. Thus, through your game I will get my revenge! Mwahaha! If, while waiting for Rotom to faint, the other Pokemon faints first, then Rotom must go all the way back to Mt. Coronet, and find a Level 13 Geodude, and let it defeat Rotom as Rotom helplessly Thundershock's it :P Thus, I shall be avenged.

Torchic (Khan): Solo one Pokemon of each type (except for two, decided before game start (Fire & Ice)) up to 10 levels lower, & solo 2 Fully evolved Pokemon (One from a Gym Leader & Another from the Rival) & solo one of the champion's Pokemon. Complete one half of the challenge to evolve into Combusken & clear Victory Road to evolve into Blaziken.

Abra (Lolcat): Must have four different typed moves ASAP & always have moves of four different types. Can never evolve into Alakazam (DetroitLolcat)

I leave the Pokemon Centre in Rustboro & go to the Cutter's House to get the HM for Cut. After leaving his house, I go back to Route 116 & decide to catch myself a HM Slave. First go, a Nincada & catch it after weakening its health. I name it "Cicada" & teach it Cut. I then deal with the previously unreachable School Kids, where Khan (Torchic) scores a Psychic-Type Solo for dealing with a Ralts. I then go inside the cave there & deal with another pirate, saving a Wingull's life & earning a Great Ball & a Pokenav. After that I go to the cottage that the sailor random told me to visit. I ask the sailor man to take me to Dewford (With manners) & he does (Look what good things manners do...).

I arrive in Dewford & instantly get an Old Rod. I go fishing for a Magikarp, & along the way, Khan scores a solo for Poison via Tentacool. I eventually hook a Magikarp & catch it. I name it "Atheno" (After Athenodoros, the challenge giver (Yes I know it specifies Gyarados, but I can't be bothered waiting till Sootopolis to find one, so a Magikarp will do)) & start bait & switching with it...After I heal at the Pokemon Centre.

After leaving the Pokemon Centre, I find out that "Good Anime" is what's "hip & happening" as I head into Granite Cave. Along the way, Khan scores solos for Ghost via Sableye & Steel via Aron. I also catch an Abra (A scramble Pokemon) in two tries with a Great Ball & name it "Lolcat" (Thanks to DetroitLolcat, and as I don't have any attacking TM's/HM's that it'll learn at the moment, I have to bait & switch for now). I eventually find a grey-haired man & give him a letter in exchange for the TM for Steel Wing.

After that, I leave Granite Cave (After recieving a HM from a Hiker) & tackle the Dewford Gym. During the minor trainer beatings, Khan evolves into a Combusken as it has reached what I assumed, was "half the requirement" (13/15 types & 0/2 fully evolved trained Pokemon). After dealing with the minor trainers, I decide to go back to Rustboro to get some Super Potions (There's no mart in Dewford). I come back to the Gym, & then challenge the Gym Leader: Brawly, for Badge #2.

I send in Atheno while he sends in a Machop. I switch in Khan, who took a Karate Chop. Khan then proceeded to 3HKO with Peck, surviving a Bulk Up & a Karate Chop with 2HP remaining.
Last was Makuhita while I bait & switched with Atheno back into Khan...which was rather risky, considering HP, but Khan switched into a Sand Attack. I then proceeded to heal Khan while Makuhita continued to lower Khan's accuracy. Eventually, Khan 3HKOed with Peck, with one Peck missing, surviving Bulked up Arm Thrust (Which hit twice) & yet another Sand Attack. The battle was won, & I got the TM for Bulk Up.

After that, I healed at the Pokemon Centre & got the sailor man to take me to Slateport...Beach. I cleaned up the trainers there & those inside the hut there before arriving in Slateport & healing at the Pokemon Centre. I then delivered goods to a Captain inside a museum after dealing with a couple of Pirates. And that's where we leave off...

And the current team...

No, I mean that it only learns it via TM, and you can only get the TM from the Battle Frontier, and I am certainly not going through the Battle Tower using the ones I've been given, which would be destroyed instantly.

Navelpluis, I will give you a Garchomp, which must be called Poseidon (who on his days off from being god of the seas was also god of earthquakes). This is hugely ironic, because this Garchomp will never learn Earthquake, and in fact will never learn any move, apart from by level-up, apart from Surf (which is mandatory), to show that he is being diligent and keeping to his primary job of organising the seas. However, to show that a Garchomp without Earthquake, Outrage, Draco Meteor, Swords Dance, Fire Fang (just to name a few) can still be good, it must solo the Ice-type gym, and then Cynthia's Garchomp. Enjoy.

Wait... So I need a Garchomp that can only learn level-up moves and Surf, but he is not allowed to learn Outrage/EQ/whatever? And then I have to solo the Ice-type gym, and make it kick Cynthia's Garchomps ass.

Now I wonder how I'm gonna get a legit Garchomp before the 7th gym, but sure. Any rules on leveling it?

It is easy to get a Chomp before the seventh gym. As soon as you get Strangth, you can get a Gible, and it does not necessarily have to be a Garchomp when it solos the leader. It could be a Gible or Gabite: it just has to solo the leader. And no, the only other restrictions are soloing Cynthia's Garchomp, learning Surf ASAP and only learning moves by level-up apart from Surf.
